Yes. I fully realised the age problem long ago. My take on that is I can keep it purely a friendly relationship for now atleast until we are old enough to where the age difference doesnt matter all that much. Meh. I guess in the end we should probably just stay friends and see how things play out fr...

*sigh* I always hate these things because I feel like I'm going to sound like a nutjob before the end of the thing. So let me see if I can lay this out for you: I am currently a member of a somewhat popular MUSH (http://www.mudconnect.com for an explanation) which has about a dozen or so regular pla...

agreed. although I prefer mp3 because it can go just about anywhere compared to wma (*cough* dvd player *cough*), wma beats mp3 in quality/bitrate ratio. Ive been able to have great sounding wma's at 96k/44khz/stereo

windows media encoder is free and its primary purpose is of course converting material to windows media (can do both audio and video)

wow. just...wow.

well, i have thought the idea over again and I figured it would be a helluva lot easier if I took another route to do this: What I need to know now though is how i can script and schedule telnet to quickly log into a telnet server, send a few commands, log back out, and be done. I have tried a few b...

Just as the title says. Ive got a certain program here where Id like to be able to automate some user input to it. Like have a string automatically typed into it at a certain time. I would rather not use a macro program because it would most likely get in the way of other functions. I did remember r...

That (az_bonts upload throttling suggestion) and you may also want to make sure your actual internet connection isnt in the crapper so-to-speak. For example, if you have cable, you should make sure your signals are in line.

check your graphics card the CMOS clear jumper. I had this same problem on my IBM clunker and its got a dipswitch on the mobo to clear the CMOS and apparently it got busted to where it was stuck in the clear position and was causing this same problem. got in there with a screwdriver and forced it in...

How about something like this... http://www.cultura.co.za/images/cellphones/nokia-1100.gif Extremely simple. Monochrome display, no camera, no Java apps, no mp3 ringtones... on the other hand: long battery life, light, small, sturdy, reliable, easy to use, and dirt cheap. yeah. my aunt has one of t...

thanks. sure is a major load off my mind.

same here. and ive heard a lot of bad rep for the di-524. It has been absolutely rock solid for me with 2 desktop's (wired) and a laptop (wireless) with a mess of cross-network traffic.

ok. I THINK I fixed it. I just ran through a repair install of windows and despite a few bugged up programs (AVG reported damaged files. a reinstall cured that right up) windows seems to be running much better and theres no hard disk/ide error messages in the event viewer. But it bugs me as to what ...

Ok. so last night before I crawled in bed I gave my lappy a good restart as I regularly use it as my alarm now and its been on for a few days. booting up windows takes FOREVER to load and when it loads the graphics are fudged up (640x480, 256 colors) and I looked through the event viewer and i spott...

Another bragging rights thread here. *gets shot* What has been your longest connected time on an 802.11x connection? Mine right at this moment on my laptop is just over a day and a half: http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3884/wifidayandhalf2xy.th.gif this btw, is achieved on a dell 1370 minipci card ...

I personally like the SM2 one best. Easily recognizable imo.

So I have been having this idea run through my mind the past few days. I have gone so far as to have my good 4.1 speaker system running off of the tv but only in 2 channels. Both my digital cable box and DVD player have SPDIF outputs, its just that I have nothing to hook up. Basically I am missing o...

so ive been digging all over the web and im looking for just a basic java based IM client for my cellphone. it has to have AIM and it has to be free. thats all im really asking for. Just curious if anyone else here knows of something.

I hate bragtastic topics

average 4800/350 here. RR seriously needs to bump the upload a bit.

Id say go ahead and disconnect the floppy and see what it does. You really shouldnt have any mission-critical need for it anyhow, right?
